When running xpdf, I always get the following warnings: Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct This is the same error as was fixed in bug 250709, but it has reappeared with different fonts. Doing xlsfonts | egrep -i '(helvetica|courier)-medium-r.*iso8859-1' shows that point size 12 does not exist in Fedora 9. The closest sizes are 11 and 14. The attached patch makes xpdf use font size 11 for both helvetica and courier, which makes the problem go away. This problem has been verified on Fedora 9 x86-64 using xpdf 3.02-6. It can be reproduced every time by simply typing "xpdf".
Created attachment 307323 [details] Make xpdf use 11 point fonts instead of non-existing 12 point fonts
Turns out that the 12 point fonts _do_ exist in Fedora 9 (in the 75 dpi package), but they have to be installed manually: yum install xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi I withdraw my suggested patch since the problem lies in xpdf's RPM dependencies, not in xpdf's source code.
Ahh, okay. That makes a lot more sense. :) I'll fix that up.
